-- It's hard not to feel bad for Amir Tofangsazan. He has been found guilty in the court of public opinion of being a scammer, and a stupid one at that.
Tofangsazan, a 19-year-old U.K. resident, was put on the bad end of a very public humiliation after he allegedly sold his defunct laptop on eBay in November for £375. The buyer, Tom Sawyer, a.k.a, the eBay Avenger, received the computer two months later, allegedly broken and sans advertised features.
After having the computer fixed, Sawyer discovered more than a few embarrassing photos on the hard drive, including pictures of gay porn, foot fetish porn and camera phone shots of random women's legs.
So Sawyer did what any betrayed and vengeful vigilante would do.
He created amirtofangsazan. blogspot .com and posted the pictures online.
The site has received more than 3 million hits, and received widespread media coverage overseas.
Public support is largely on Sawyer's side. Amir has gone into hiding, issuing vague warnings of a libel suit through the media.
Welcome to the world of trial by Internet. --
